  • Azriel Awret
    Azriel Awret
    Sculpture
    Azriel Awret was born in Lodz, Poland, and moved to Belgium where he lived in Brussels. He married an Aryan woman, Anna Louisa Bonhiere, which saved him from deportation. But in January 1943 he was interned in Malines camp. Awret was an engineer, so he was given employment as an electrician. While in Malines he met Irène Spicker, who was working in the Mahlerstube (art workshop). They married after the war and moved to Israel, settling in Safed and continuing their artistic activity.
  • Marcia Billig
    Marcia Billig
    Sculpture
    Art has always been a major pursuit for me.  I try to express a sense of joy and movement in my figurative works. I have been creating public and private sculptures for many years.  All of my commissions, both public and private have involved the input of the people who would be enjoying the space or the facility.  In each case, whether it was a library, school court yard, public park, subway station, or an arts center, I first met with a committee representing the local arts community, the business representatives directly involved with the project, and friends from the “neighborhood.” I received a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Sculpture from American University, a Master in Education with a major in art from George Washington University, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Five of my sculptures installed in the Washington area are pictured and described in the revised 2008 edition, “Washington Sculpture, A Cultural History of Outdoor Sculpture in the Nation’s Capital.” by James Goode, historian, and former staff member of the Smithsonian Institution.  My sculptures included are: “BALANCE,”  “GRANDDAUGHTERS,”  “LIFT OFF,’’ “THE JUGGLER,’’ and “THE COMMUTER.’’

  • Arlette Jassel
    Arlette Jassel
    Muralist; Painter; Sculpture; layered wood wall mounted
    Dance was my first love and discipline which I had to abandon when a hip joint disease stopped me dancing. I transferred my passion for movement and expression to painting. Color and music energize my work. I create the human figure that weaves in and out of abstracted shapes to show energy in a two dimensional way. I studied art at Hunter College in NYC earning a BFA in painting. At the University of Chicago I received an MAT in art teaching. Many more courses and schools have added to my artistic vocabulary. Political art in particular and narrative art generally have been my focus. Flowers always pop up within my narrative window. Those essential issues of our time that include feminism in the 1970's and 80's,  homelessness in the 1990's, wars and blithe disregard for human life in 2000's, the demeaning of people with disabilities, the marginalization of bodies not like our own, and the horrors of our democracy under savage attack through the willingness of the social media platforms, all surfaced in my work. Climate change is chronicled as well. I have a positive spirit, so recently, even after exposing the inequities of the pandemic sufferers, I have painted a series of Dances Through the Flowers. I celebrate a new spring of the human spirit.

  • Greg Mort
    Greg Mort
    Muralist; Painter; Sculpture
    Artist Statement - Greg Mort The Arts have always had the ability to transcend language, culture, and the centuries. Since the dawn of our collective human memory, art in its myriad forms has expressed our hopes, our fears, and our loves while also serving as an interpretive record of the world around us. Then as now, the voice of Art remains a powerful communicative tool. In this, the new millennium, the realization that we indeed live on “One World” carries with it responsibilities never dreamt of by our distant ancestors as they expressed their visions on cave walls and with carved fertility icons. We now recognize the fragility of our planetary home and the profound role each of us plays in the drama of life on Earth. Now more than ever the “Artist” will play an ever-increasing part in a cast that must include…all of humanity. The visual arts are in fact a calling out to those who speak the language that is universally understood. One that has the potential to raise awareness, inspire and celebrate our role as “Stewards” of our tiny oasis in space. At this point in history no challenge is more important or more immediate in nature. Our very survival depends on it. As an artist my goal is to use my creative tools to bring the notion of “Stewardship of our Earth” to the forefront of our conversations and consciousness.
  • Sandra Pérez-Ramos
    Sandra Pérez-Ramos
    Mixed Media Artist; Muralist; Painter; Sculpture
    Sandra Pérez-Ramos is a Puerto Rican artist working in the DMV area. She invents whimsical narratives, exploring fantasy or mystical and natural connections. She's inspired by mythology, Design from the 1950-70's, traditional arts and textiles. Her public art is uplifting, encourages healing and celebrates diversity. Art Critic Lennox Campello described her paintings in an article for the Alexandria Old Town Crier: “Pérez-Ramos channels her Caribbean upbringing in her accomplished works. Her artistic pedigree is evident in her gifted use of color and form to deliver highly stylized imagery, which over the years has grown into one of the hardest achievements in the art world: a completely distinct style and ritual.” The founder of The Art + Walkability Project in Silver Spring, MD, Margaret Rifkin, described her public artworks: “Her art is for everyone, one of the most democratic ways to bring beauty to the body politic, both the marginalized and mainstream”. In DC and MD, her works have been acquired for the permanent collection of the Children's National Hospital, The Marie Reed Project for Community Of Hope, Artists & Makers Studios 1 and by Mayor Tracey Furman for the Kensington Town Hall. Past roles: Membership Committee Chair for Montgomery Art Association, Leader of Wheaton Area Latinx Artists & Tableaux Vivant for Wheaton Arts Parade, Exhibition Installation Manager for WAP Gallery, Co-founder of The Latino Art League of Greater Washington DC.
  • Erwin Timmers
    Erwin Timmers
    Glass Artist; Mixed Media Artist; Sculpture; Teacher/Instructor
    Erwin Timmers is Co-founder and Director of the Washington Glass School and one of the DC area’s leading ‘eco-artists’.  Recycling, waste and how they relate to society are recurring themes in his work.  Erwin’s main medium is one of the least recycled materials; float glass or window glass, and he has had to develop new techniques to exploit the properties of this material. His approach to art is multi-faceted, incorporating metalwork, innovative lighting and glass design.  His sculptural artwork has been on display in an increasing number of local, regional and national galleries.  He has received multiple public art commissions and is also featured in numerous private collections. He has been featured in numerous books, notably “100 Mid-Atlantic Artists” by Ashley Rooney, “Cast” by Jen Townsend and Renée Zettle-Sterling.  Montgomery County honored Erwin Timmers as the county’s “Outstanding Artist” in 2018.
